Lopez Foto Design
People & Lifestyle and Architecture Photographers
Francisco Lopez is a photographer based between Nuremberg, Germany and Barcelona, Spain. He has been working across architecture, interior, exterior, corporate, industrial, people, portrait, lifestyle, product and still life since 1992.
For a product relaunch for a German pharmaceutical manufacturer, Francisco was asked to create a new world of images. His relaxed lifestyle shots were staged with a handful of models in a rented private home and garden, and in order to keep the images as natural as possible very little artificial light was used.
Above all, close cooperation with the advertising agency and the customer - who were both present for the shoot - was very important. The images are being used for internet, magazine advertisements, leaflets, brochures and posters.

7 Seas Productions
Cuba - Colombia - Argentina
Who to call for campaign and editorial productions in Cuba, Colombia and Argentina? 7 Seas Productions, that’s who! Three distinct countries, all linked by a special kind of magic - just ask 7 Seas, who have been taking clients to these parts for over 20 years.
Cuba’s narrative is nowhere more clearly written than on its architecture. The bold coloured houses reflecting the warm locals, the peeling paint revealing a complex past and the restoration of the city’s most precious buildings a sign of a bright future.
Colombia is home to some of the best beaches in Latin America, hands down. Cartagena specifically is having a second coming, catering for the new bourgeois, which is evident in the boutique hotels and private casas in the city centre - all perfect locations for fashion shoots.
Argentina is as diverse as it is captivating. Buenos Aires is made up of many neighborhoods that feel distinctly unique yet also very European.
"Forget the paperwork and leave all of that to 7 Seas. All you need to worry about is choosing where to go!"
What do Hermès, GQ, Zimmermann, Warehouse and NET-a-PORTER all have in common? 7 Seas took them somewhere they had never been.
